How to Address The Preside nj.

For ninety seven years the country
has grown in dignity, wealth and power
under the simple constitutional title of
the Chief Executive of the American
r public, until it eclipses all the high
sounding designations of rank known to
the vocabulary of monarchial institutions.
All official communications or from
strangers sh uld therefore be addressed
ITO the President, Washington, d. c.
A letter from personal friend should
be addressed: "Grover Cleveland, Wash
ngton, d. c., without title.
The President to all communications
whether official or personal, simply
signs his name, without the usual COM
plimcntary closing as ''yours truly" or
closing of respect, as Every respectful
ly," used by all officials.
The discussion of the subject of titles
was commenced in Congress before the
arrival of Washington in New York. In
a letter of July, 1889, to friend in Vir-
ginia, the first president expressed his
opposition to an additional title. 1t was
urged that 'His High Mightiness," the
title of the Stockholders of Holland, was
his choice; but there is nothing to show
that he ever EXPIRE ssed such an opinion.

Killing n RuII FIX

From an account of hunting trip in
the Sierra Madre mountains, by Frank
Wilkcson in tho New York Times, we
quote as follows: Late in the afternoon
l reached the wooded point near which
the deer had been killed in the morning.
| was exceedingly tired. l walked slowly
up the hill to its top, where the timber
was sufficiently open to see through for
100 yards. There T 1T doNp behind Z.
large boulder to rest and to smoke.
While smoking | heard a noise behind
me. | looked around the boulder and
saw large, handsome bull elk standing
motionless, with his head high in the
ar. His almost coal-back name waved
briskly in the breeze. My heart sprang
into my throat, AMI there struggled and
futtered. | drew my rifle around and
pointed it at the elk, but | could not
hold it on him. Trees, rocks, bushes
filled the sights, and now and then the
elk would spring over the sights in a
most unaccountable manner. So l
crouched down and waited until | got
hold Of my nerves, and then again
| thrust the rife around the rock. The
elk was still there, looking through
larg', beautiful eyes at the blue noun
tains beyond the creek. He was not
more than seventy five yards from
me. I covered his forehead, and was
just gong to pull the trigger when he
quickly dropped his muzzle almost to
the ground, drew in a long breath, and
threw his head high in the air, his
mouth slightly open, his widespread
antlcrs resting on his back, and bugled
lovingly for mate to come to him.
Heard close by the note is not as sweet
as when it is mellowed by distance.
After bugling, the bull stood motionless,
apparently listening intently. Again he
bugled. l was no longer eager to kill
him, but we were shooting meat, on the
sale Of which my comrale and his family
depended for their winters provisions,
50 murmured to myself, "Well, meat is
meat will have to gather you in"
and then shot him through the head.
dressed him, and threw his liver and
heart and lungs on the ground, where
the parrots could get them to eat.

The re-Eaters' Secret.

The secret of fre-eaters is said to con-
sist in merely rubbing the hands and
thoroughly washing the mouth, lips,
tongue and other parts that are to touch
the FIRE with pure spirit of sulphur.
This burns or cauterizes the outer skin
until it becomes as hard as thick leather.
When, by frequent applications, the
skin has become so horny as to become
troublesome, washing the parts affected
with very warm water will bring away
all the shriveled skin. No doubt the
frequenthandling Of hot things produces
great hardness and callosity of the skin.
Backsmiths may often be met with who
will pick up a glowing bar of iron in
their naked hands, or take live coal
from the fire to light their pipes.

PORT TOBACCO MARYLAND, JANUARY u 1851

never been locked on in all the horrid
scenes Of Ind an warfare. Both the ser
want girl and the child were carried oil
by some Indians who were fortunate
enough to escape and were found the
year following in the hands of friendly
tribe, who had purchased them from the
C5manches and brou4ht them to trad
NJ post on the Rcd RIVER. Mrs. White
was buried near the plice where she died,
Carsons men erecting a cairn over the
grave to prevent the wolves and coyotes
from devouring the remains. That was
a terrible fight. When Reed drew the
arrow from his back, after finding the
woman he had periled his life to rescue
was past all hope, he called to his
comrades to give up the chase Of the fly
ing Indians. Some Of them returned
with boody hands, full Of redskins
scaps. Many of Clrson's men were
hal(-breeds, a cross between French and
Indian, and quite as savage as the In
dians they warred against, taking also
the same pleasure in ghastly trophies as
their enemies did. Some of the Co
manche squaws threw their papooses
into the ravincs and brush, hoping to
make their escape and to return and re-
gain their offspring; but the half-breeds
caught these papooses up by the heels
and dashed their brains out against the
stones They considered this merci-
lul act in way The children would
have starved to death or been eaten by
the coyotes, so they concluded it was
better to put them out of misery at once.
Or, perhaps, they thought with the old
Indian fighter, Gen. Kearny, who favored
policy of eXtermation. Such was the
daring bat unsuccessful attempt by Car
son to rescue the white captives. The
affair is still fresh in the memory of the
old men, who can vouch for the truth
fulness of the story of Kit Cars son's ride
and the vengeance he took on the Co
manches. 1t is only one of thousands of
instances of Carson's voluntary brave at
tempts to aid those whose inexperience
or misfortune had brought them into the
power Of the merciless savage. San

Influence Of Cheerful Homes.

See to it, then, that their home com
pete with public places in their attrac-
iveness. Open your blinds by day and
light bright fires at night. illuminate
your homes. Hang pictures upon the
walls. Put books and newspapers ON
your tables. Have music and entertain
ing games. Danish demons and dull
I IS and apathy, that have so long ruled
in your household, and bring in mirth
and good cheer. Invent Occupations for
your sons. Stimulate tleir ambitions in
worthy direct ons While you make
home their delight, fill them with higher
purposes than mere pleasure. Whether
they shall pass happy boyhood and Gu
ter upon manhood with refined tastes
and noble ambitions depends on you.

John GrOat's House

John Groat is said to have come from
Holland to Caithness, Scotland in 1439;
with him came his brothers. They
owned land in Caithness, and increased
and multiplied until there were eight
families Once year they all met in
the first house they had built. At one
meeting the question Of precedence was
raised. and there was almost fight.
John oGroats, as the Scotch called him,
who SEEMS to have had the most level
head O them all, settled the matter
temporarily then, and said that next
wear he would settle it finally. When
the time for the next meeting came
John dGroats had built an eight-s ded
house With eight doors and windows; in
the middle of the house he put round
table. By this means all struggles for
precedence were avoided. -Ne'O York

band, Must Hang-GOv. Hill Not to
Interfere Further in Her Case.

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 26
The fact is disclosed today that some weeks
ago Gov. Hill appointed a commission of ex
perts consisting of DR. Andrews of the Buff
falo insane asylum, DR.. Macdonald of the
asylum for insane criminals at Auburn, and
Dr. Balch OF Albany, secretary of the State
board of health, to examine into the sanity
of Mrs. Druse, who killed her husband and
burnt portions of his body in a stove, over a
year ago, and report their conclusion to him.
This course was taken by the Governor after
it became evident that the legislature would
refuse to change the law, in order to deter
mine whether there could be found any posi-
BILE ground for his interference. The COM
mission arrived at the conclusion that Mrs.
Druse is now sane, and was sane at the time
OF the commission of the murder.
Upon the receipt of this report, and by
reason of the non-action of the legislature,
Gov. Hill informed the spiritual adviser of
Mrs Druse that he could not, consistently
vita his sense of duty to the State, further
